Tahr..
I am not satisfied that the numbers of fires, the numbers of tornados, the numbers of natural disasters, the numbers of deaths from any or all has at all increased.
I suggest you read Steven Pinker's book called "Enlightenment Now" as a study into the role that sensationalist media has had in promoting the perception of doom and gloom across the board in all areas of our lives. The distortion between reality and what is perception across all manner of KPI is unlikely to not have had a similar effect in the area of the climate debate.
There are always issues. But as Pinker illuminates over the last 70 years most of the human experience has improved markedly to a factor of about 10 fold on what the reality was 70 years ago and yet the perception today is almost the complete inverse.
There are no more tornados, hurricanes, fires and flooding than were have ever been. There are less deaths from natural disasters currently than in the past 5-7 decades. The sea is not lapping at our doorsteps unless it always did. Fires might be more intense due to more availability of fuel on our greener planet - (a combination of a retarded bureaucracy not allowing fuel removal from populated areas and increased plant material from a reduction in wood burning, and increased CO2), but the actual number of fires is no more significant.
Watch that all change when they stop coal. Currently we have more trees on the planet than at any time in the last 200 years. Great fuel when you can't dig coal.
How many carbon credits does tonga have to buy to compensate the world for its volcano eruption
I remember Tahr making a comment about the Labour Party saying they will be in for 3 terms so we may as well get used to it!. People have opinions, doesn’t mean they are right, no matter how many fancy words they use.
Control the weather, you control the food. Control the food, you control the people.
I remember as a kid in the late sixties being told that the beeps we heard on the radio, similar to morse code, was the Russians trying to manipulate the weather.
@Tahr I find it disheartening that most of the people your age group I know all say the same. They are all pleased they are at the latter end of life.
I'm hoping I have quite a few years left. And I sure hope they improve compared to the last few.
Overkill is still dead.
Some of us do look up, quite often in fact. Thing is, it's different to the 'official" line.
I'm OK with what other people believe in. Some people struggle with what others believe in and think it's their way or not at all. Not so OK with that. Dare I say it, one or the other party will be correct. I just don't think we will be around to see it....

One tiny example: Somewhere in youtube land a couple of months ago I watched an article where the BBC weather presenter was talking up the apocalypse, pointing to all the 'extreme' temperatures all over Europe, and the colours of red and purple had been daubed all over the areas of 'extreme' temperature.
Some enterprising soul dragged up the BBC's weather presentation back in the early 00's of the same calendar period of hot European summer, with all the colours benign, and many of the temperatures showing 1 to 2 degrees HOTTER than the temps being quoted as extreme for this season.
Did you hear all the lies about the climate on TV1 news tonight!! They were contradicting the NZHS experts left right and centre. Ive put in a complaint to the Tribunal and want you XR500 and Sidney to appear as expert witnesses for me. Bring your YouTube links and books with you
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
